House Conservatives and various lawmakers are demanding accountability and action to combat rising antisemitism on college campuses and in public spaces. The bipartisan Antisemitism Awareness Act has been passed in the House, aiming to protect students from harassment. Senators Jacky Rosen and James Lankford are urging the Department of Education to appoint a senior official to lead efforts against campus antisemitism. Meanwhile, a series of violent antisemitic incidents have occurred. In Brooklyn's Canarsie and East Flatbush neighborhoods, a 58-year-old Pakistani immigrant, Asghar Ali, attempted to run over Jewish students outside a yeshiva while shouting antisemitic threats. He has been charged with attempted murder and hate crimes. The NYPD, FBI, and SHOMRIM patrols were involved in the manhunt and arrest. In Montreal, there have been multiple shootings targeting Jewish schools, prompting condemnation from Canadian leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford. These incidents highlight the urgent need for stronger measures to protect Jewish communities and combat antisemitism.
